Pumpkin Patch Kid - Circa Oct. 2010

This weekend we're planning on going to a pumpkin patch with our friends Kira, Mike, and their sweet little kiddos. Oh I can't wait! I'm sure Brooks will just love running through the field of pumpkins, and I can just imagine him yelling, "Ball! Ball!" then try to pick them up (they look like fun balls right?).

And I can't help but think of the last time Brooks was at a pumpkin patch...just 7 months old and as cute as ever. We went with the Kjars, had a great time, and hope to go again this year :) Can't get enough pumpkins right?

He is a wonderful man. My mom knew him very well when she worked at the Church Office Building years ago before she was married. I have met him a couple times, and he even made time, two years ago, to meet intimately with my mom, a sister of mine, and me where we visited and then he gave my sister a priesthood blessing that she so incredibly needed. What a man of God. I pray for him, his health, and his family.

I'm so excited for tomorrow! I love these pictures Brooks, he looks so little! He will call all the pumpkins "ball" and Grant will probably just try to take bites out of all of them. This should be great!

Oh my goodness! Look at that little bundle of love surrounded by pumpkins!? These pictures are so so so so precious...they belong in a magazine! BEAUTIFUL BABY magazine! (is there such a thing? Because Brooks totally deserves a starring spread in such a publication.)

I can't wait to see this year's pumpkin patch pictures! It will be so fun to compare this time with the last time. :)

I am counting the days until we visit our pumpkin patch....we have such great memories of last year (like you) and I can't wait to see what Hudson does this year! They even take you on a wagon ride to pick out your own pumpkin from the patch....I am so excited! :D

Such sweet pictures! We went pumpkin picking this past weekend and as I watched Emma toddle everywhere, I thought of this time last year and how she was a two-month-old little baby, sleeping in my arms as we walked through the very same patch. What a difference a year makes. :)

About Me

My name is Haley and I am lucky enough to be a wife to my best friend, Adam. He's my partner in this adventure of parenthood we're on together. I am "Mama" to our awesome son Brooks and our beautiful daughter Ava. Life is so sweet. And by recording the little moments that make me smile, laugh, cry, get butterflies, have regrets, learn lessons, gain talents, and help me grow, I'll be able to savor those moments more than once. xo
